One functional fix, one performance regression fix, and two related
comment fixes.

I cleaned up my prototype I recently shared [1] for the performance fix,
deferring most of the cleanups I had in the prototype to a later point.
While doing that I identified the other things.

The goal of this patch set is to be backported to stable trees "fairly"
easily. At least patch #1 and #4.

Patch #1 fixes hugetlb_pmd_shared() not detecting any sharing
Patch #2 + #3 are simple comment fixes that patch #4 interacts with.
Patch #4 is a fix for the reported performance regression due to excessive
IPI broadcasts during fork()+exit().

The last patch is all about TLB flushes, IPIs and mmu_gather.
Read: complicated

I added as much comments + description that I possibly could, and I am
hoping for review from Jann.

There are plenty of cleanups in the future to be had + one reasonable
optimization on x86. But that's all out of scope for this series.

Compile tested on plenty of architectures.

Runtime tested, with a focus on fixing the performance regression using
the original reproducer [2] on x86.

I'm still busy with more testing (making sure that my TLB flushing changes
are good), but sending this out already so people can test and review
while I am soon heading for LPC.

v1 -> v2:
* Picked RB's/ACK's, hopefully I didn't miss any
* Added the initialization of fully_unshared_tables in __tlb_gather_mmu()
  (Thanks Nadav!)
* Refined some comments based on Lorenzo's feedback.

Sending it out already as I have some spare minutes and we should start
queuing the fixed version. Maybe there will be some more comment changes
later based on the discussion with Lorenzo.
